BlogNomic: The Ninth Dynasty of ais523

75th is not my personal deity, sorry. ;)

anti-idling..

The offering bit is up to the narrator. I am getting a little worried that we might be putting too much responsability on the narrator to direct things.

If it’s possible, could this not be adminned before 75th votes?

Beautiful please?

I agree with smith that maybe we’re putting too much on 75th.

I am mostly due to not seeing why this would be fun, for either the Protagonists offering things up to eir god 75th for some hopefully nice result, or for 75th who might have to put up with an “often” number of offerings.

Other, less important notes (i.e., these aren’t the reason I’m voting ):

o The usage of “same effect” is sketchy, and will be prone to mistakes. If I offer a Fire Marshall Recruitment Flyer and “Saurik is dubbed Fire Marshall” is
the result, then if someone else offers up a Fire Marshall Recruitment Flyer, there is a strong argument that I should be dubbed Fire Marshall again.

o The proposal is missing a close quotation mark, which should probably be considered an important bug.

o Entirely stylistically, it might have been nice to use “shall” rather than “must”. (I left “must” out of the list of IEEE auxiliary verbs as it is considered deprecated.)

Actually, thinking more about that clause, I have an actual complaint about the mechanic here:

There’s no indication of _when_ the Protagonist shall put forward that Result. Only that it shall be placed as the Result of that Command, and that shall be done “after” the announcement from the Narrator on the blog. What if the Narrator doesn’t bother replying? What happens then? Does the Protagonist get to just continue on eir merry way? There’s nothing that states that e can’t temporarily put something else as the Result of that Command. What if e deletes the Command before the Narrator gets around to replying, and now it’s no longer possible for the offerer to do the latter part? Should he not have been allowed to do the deletion (which I think is a weird mechanic to have anyway) because it is understood that this pending “must” (or “shall”, whichever) is in play? Or does that make the Pffering no longer a valid Offering, and it gets canceled?

I suppose it’s exploitable… but that would make this dynasty end sooner, which, at the rate at which it is currently going, could not be a bad thing.

Random effects are fun. Can that be denied? Anyway, there’s a precedent: Glarsh.

But addressing your notes:

1) We can just take the obvious solution and apply. If it still breaks down, it’s fixable by Call for Judgment.
2) Consider it a typo. Or fix it later by proposal.
3) Fixable by proposal.
4) Fixable by proposal.

All right, I know that I’ve made some mistakes, but this dynasty is slow enough as is.

Elias: Yeah, just to reemphasize, the bullet pointed ones I don’t care about. (As I said, they aren’t the reasons I voted against.) I don’t think it’s fair, or even really fun, to shove all the responsibility onto 75th, considering he hasn’t even been around much to comment on such matters, and I _do_ think there’s something wrong with the temporal mechanics of the Result, but I don’t really even care about that much either.

I’m also guessing that the main reason this dynasty is going so slowly is either A) everyone really hates me (which is paranoid, but funny enough that I thought I’d mention it), or B) they are all taking a week or two off for Christmas vacation and don’t have as ready access to computers or free time to write proposals. I know that’s true of Salamander and danopato. At least one person explicitely idle’d himself, and it _seems_ true of a few others. I’d imagine when people get from holidays and either go back to their jobs or their school life things will pick up.

Regardless, I’ll change my vote to . If 75th would like to actually Narrarate, he can go ahead ;P.

When this starts holding up any proposals in queue, it can then be adminned.

has… has 75th been alive recently?  I havn’t noticed if he has been
